In-Rack CW

The In-Rack features hot-swap technology that allows fan replacement on running units minimizing the downtime. When the fan goes offline, the remaining fans will compensate by increasing rotation speed. 350mm axial fans mounted in bellmouth housings and equipped with EC motors allow In-Rack to efficiently operate at partial loads and optimize the overall energy efficiency.

The In-Rack cooling door can be easily attached to any standard server rack (42U to 48U) and does not impact on the access to IT equipment installed in the cooled rack. With low weight only by 1/3 compared to competitors, the In-Rack unit does not create any significant load on the floor and rack, thus giving the customers flexibility in installation.

The unit terminal with a large touchscreen display provides advanced control and detailed run statistics and analysis for the operator. Android-based software allows configuring multiple In-Rack simultaneously by replicating the configuration and parameters onto a group of networked units, thus reducing commissioning time.

The control hub of the In-Rack cooling unit constantly monitors the air temperature and humidity to avoid/minimize condensate build-up by regulating water flow through the evaporator coil. The system eliminates the possibility of water entry into the rack by means of dewpoint control and automatic condensate discharge system equipped with the drain pan, water sensor, and pump.

In-Rack units are suitable for use in both constant and variable flow chilled water systems. The customer may select appropriate regulating valves for the systems pumped at the constant flow rate, typically a three-way control valve, or configure In-Rack unit for variable flow rate with a two-way control valve and low-flow valve on the bypass to maintain minimum flow on chiller at low loads. In-Rack connected to the chilled water pipework via flexible, stainless steel braided hoses supplied with the unit. Solenoid-controlled isolation valves are available as an option.

The key challenge of the rack-level cooling systems is the lack of redundancy. In-Rack eliminates this drawback with redundant configuration which includes a dual power supply with an automatic transfer switch for instant switching to an alternative power source in the event of failure, how-swappable fans, controller power backup, and 2-pass heat exchanger which remains operational even in case of water leakage. In-Rack unit designed for continuous 24/7 operation and allowed easy access to the hardware installed inside the rack without disconnecting any services and disrupting cooling. Equipped with redundancy options, In-Rack unit ensures the highest possible availability for mission-critical IT equipment.
